Managed Firewall - Block malicious traffic
A firewall is an essential part of any organization's information security infrastructure. We will configure, maintain & monitor your firewall, as well as provide you with regular reports or review them for you. -
Intrusion Protection - Apply a virtual patch to your network
An Intrusion Protection System (IPS) often works in conjunction with a firewall and further protects your network. Some regulations require the installation, maintenance and monitoring of an Intrusion Protection System (IPS). We monitor and maintain these highly sophisticated systems for you and ensure your regulatory compliance. -
Wireless Information Security - Do you know who is using you network?
What you can't see can't hurt you - right? Maybe NOT! What was secure last month might be a vulnerability today. If your wireless access point or infrastructure hardware is older than 2007, you are probably not protected adequately. If you have any doubts on the integrity and information security of your wireless setup or you are considering a secure wireless implementation, don't hesitate to call us. Our certified wireless experts (CWNA) will help you find and implement the best solution. -
Vulnerability Analysis- Pinpoint the weak spots in your network
Information Security threads are constantly proliferating, so to keep your information security posture in line with the latest treads, we perform regular vulnerability analyses on an ongoing basis. If we find problems, we will recommend improvements to your information security posture. - To learn more, sign up for our Newsletters and stay on top of Information Security issues facing small and medium businesses.
FAQ
What is network security?
Network security is the set of policies, tools, and practices used to protect the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of data and systems as they move across or sit on a network. It covers hardware, software, and human processes.
What's the difference between a threat, a vulnerability, and a risk?
A threat is something that can cause harm (e.g., an attacker or malware). A vulnerability is a weakness that can be exploited (e.g., unpatched software). Risk is the likelihood and impact of a threat exploiting a vulnerability.
What are the most common network threats?
Malware and ransomware, phishing, DDoS attacks, man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks, password attacks, insider threats, SQL injection, and zero-day exploits.
What does a firewall do?
A firewall filters traffic between networks based on rules (IP addresses, ports, protocols, or application behavior). Types include packet-filtering, stateful inspection, proxy, and next-generation firewalls (NGFW), which add deep packet inspection and application awareness.
What is a VPN and when should I use one?
A Virtual Private Network creates an encrypted tunnel between your device and another network. Use one for remote access to company resources, securing traffic on public Wi-Fi, and connecting sites together (site-to-site VPN). A VPN doesn’t make you anonymous or protect against malware.
What is network segmentation?
Dividing a network into smaller zones (using VLANs, subnets, or firewalls) so that a breach in one area can’t easily spread to others. For example, separating guest Wi-Fi, IoT devices, and servers.
What is a DMZ?
A demilitarized zone is a buffer network between the internet and your internal network, typically hosting public-facing services like web or mail servers, so a compromise doesn’t expose internal systems.
What is multi-factor authentication (MFA)?
Requiring two or more proofs of identity: something you know (password), have (phone, hardware key), or are (biometrics). Hardware keys and authenticator apps are stronger than SMS codes.
What are best practices for passwords?
Use long passphrases (12+ characters), unique passwords per account, a password manager, and MFA. Avoid frequent forced rotation unless there’s evidence of compromise.
What is phishing, and how do I spot it?
Fraudulent messages designed to steal credentials or install malware. Warning signs: urgency, mismatched sender addresses or links, unexpected attachments, and requests for sensitive info. Verify through a separate channel.
What is ransomware and how can I defend against it?
Malware that encrypts files and demands payment. Defenses: offline/immutable backups, patching, email filtering, endpoint protection, least-privilege access, and tested incident response plans.
What is a zero-day vulnerability?
A flaw unknown to the vendor, with no patch available. Reduce exposure with defense in depth, network segmentation, behavior-based detection, and rapid patching once fixes are released.
Which Wi-Fi security standard should I use?
WPA3 if supported, otherwise WPA2 with AES (CCMP). Avoid WEP and WPA. Use strong passphrases, disable WPS, and separate guest traffic.
How do I secure remote workers?
Require MFA, use a VPN or Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), enforce device encryption and patching, use endpoint detection and response (EDR), and train staff on phishing.
